I always love how animated Coco Rocha is.

I'm home for the weekend. I love you, Selinsgrove, but NYC will always be my home. I bolted off the bus today and ran to the subway. I was in the subway before everybody was off the bus.

Don't you love how quirky she is?

I'm so in love with Fran's purple spider shorts. Her Christopher Kane gel clutch is pretty rad too.

Business Casual

So I have a class that requires me to dress business casual. Should I take some pointers from Kate?

Have a nice weekend everyone! Tonight there's a curfew due the cresting of the Susquehanna River! Curfew is eleven o'clock. My friend and I just drove one hour to pick up three orders of chinese food. It really should not have taken that long. Location and directions were not made clear... Anyway, it seems like my weekend is off to a good start. (Seriously!)

Have a good weekend!

Happy Labor Day

It's raining where I am in Pennsylvania. I called my brother over Skype today and he says it is pretty gloomy in New York City too. I miss home. I am planning to visit at the end of the month. I miss my parents, my dogs, my friends. Can't wait to see them in a few weeks! I talk to my two best friends and my mom everyday. That's not excessive right? 

On another note, anybody digging my School of Athens poster? My roommate and neighbors make fun of how dorky I am having it. I love it. I thought it was very appropriate for my dorm room and that it would be a reminder to study and work hard at college. I also have a poster of The Old Guitarist by Picasso hanging next to my desk. 

 Yes, that is a toothbrush on my desk. I seem to have picked up a few habits since moving into my dorm. I brush my teeth after most meals. I now make my bed religiously. Overall, going away to college was a good move, I feel.

None of my friends seem to be able to answer my summer-long question, since they are all moving on to art college and in art college textbooks aren't required, "do I need a backpack for school?" I'll be moving into my dorm next week, and at this point, I am 80 percent sure that I will be need a backpack or just a bag sturdy and large enough to withstand the weight of my books. I've always been very against using backpacks. Most of the time, I feel they just look too elementary. However, once I factor in the health of my back and the limited options, I always end up using one anyway. Every time, I reach for the most rugged one I can find. During my senior year, I used this army green with a brown suede bottom Timberland backpack. My mom found it at a yard sale for five dollars. Heck of a deal, right? Years before, I used a color-blocked deep blue and white, square-ish backpack and Jansport army green one. All in all, backpacks are pretty dependable and come in abundance, but I really would like that to change in college. 

I've been looking for medium sized leather shopping bags and these by Cast of Vices are beyond perfect. Best of all, they totally represent New York City. It would be like having a piece of home when I'm away at college. The big downside is the hefty price tag of $255-265. Maybe I should keep my eyes peeled for something price appropriate.
